Paris Saint Germain 0 Botafogo 1
The biggest shock of the tournament so far. South American champions Botafogo has stunned European champions Paris Saint Germain thanks to a composed finish from Tiquinho Soares in the 69th minute. Despite dominating possession and chances, PSG were stifled by Botafogo’s disciplined defending and now face possible elimination if they can’t win their final group match against Seattle Sounders. The Brazilian team have now won two from two matches and will guarantee progress to the knockout rounds if they avoid defeat against Atletico Madrid.

Seattle Sounders 1–3 Atlético Madrid
Atlético bounced back from their opening drubbing by PSG to cruise past Seattle at Lumen Field. Pablo Barrios struck twice, and Axel Witsel added another. Seattle pulled one back through Albert Rusnák but couldn’t muster a comeback. Despite being eliminated with two losses, Sounders showed grit—landing 16 shots and holding 42% possession—but lacked the cutting edge up front.

Inter Miami 2–1 Porto
Lionel Messi sealed a historic win for Inter Miami with a breathtaking free kick in the 54th minute—his 68th career freekick—earning a 2–1 comeback triumph at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Porto took the lead early via an Aghehowa penalty, but Telasco Segovia equalised just after the break. Messi’s strike marked a first-ever Club World Cup win for a CONCACAF side over European opposition.

Palmeiras 2–0 Al Ahly
Palmeiras emerged on top in Group A thanks to a disrupted match at MetLife Stadium. After a storm delay, they secured victory through an Abou Ali own goal and a counterattack strike from Flaco López . Their win lifts them to the top of the group, while Al Ahly’s campaign faces difficulties.
